I think OSBI is making a big mistake by not releasing more information to the public. For one thing, it might cause the killer/killers to slip up and say something to someone who might, in turn, turn them in if they thought LE was on their trail.

I agree. If they don't do something soon it's going to go cold.

I would imagine it did hide. That breed of dog, (not even going to try to spell it) are easily frightened. I had a friend who had one, and if you slipped up on it, it was actually known to panic and lie like dead for a long time! so dont you think it prob hid til the next day, then hung around maybe, because of the girls? kinda sad, huh? I doubt anyone took it and had the guts to come back to the crime scene. However, I wonder if it was a killer who disfigured Skyla's cross. THAT wouldnt suprise me!

I couldn't find much about the cross being disfigured.Would you fill me in?
I'm interested in knowing who found the dog the next day.Does anybody know?This breed of dog is very loyal to it's owner,but if it would have hidden in the general area,I assume someone would have come across it.Does anyone else find it strange that the dog didn't walk to the house?

K4Kathy, Good questions...Yes, as a dog breeder I have found it very strange from the beginning.
Why didn't the little dog run home and hid on the porch, in Taylor's playhouse, or sleep with their other dogs that night....

Why would the tiny dog been at the Bridge the next day?...Hmmmm!

That behavior is not like a dog. Dogs go home if possible, unless they are Left elsewhere, lost or stolen.

Dogs and cats try to FIND their way back home to their masters, as soon as they can, walking many miles and many days to do so......Was Taylor's little dog on it's way back home when it was found at the bridge the next day? If not why?

Maybe the dog did go home and hide until the next day and then went to the bridge looking for the girls.

I know there have been stories related to Taylor's dog. Can you please post a link to what is known or has it been speculation. Please and thank you...

Maybe if someone was home, that the girls were arguing with, thus the reason for them wanting to leave, maybe the dog didnt want to go home because that person was there? Or because of the tension at home from an earlier event that led the girls to leave? Just another scenario. Something to think about. Still wondering who was at that house. Was uncle joe? or someone else too?
I got a pm awhile back, from someone who said she wont post. And she swore she had a dream and saw the whole thing. She said she saw Taylor arguing with someone at the house so they left... and they were followed. They said it was a male.
Well, of course, I didnt know what to make of it. Of course, this is the internet and you never know who is gonna pop on and say what. So I didnt say anything. Now I havent seen this posters name online for at least a month or more. She said she was psychic and I told her to post on the psychic thread, but she said she wouldnt. That people would say she was crazy. Maybe she was. And maybe she wasnt. I just dont know. Weird! I havent said anything til now because I thought she just might tell others her dream. She appears to be gone now.
You all may think I am nuts for even telling you. But that's the story I got. Take it or leave it. I wouldnt make it up, but I wont tell names either.

What I imagined happened with the dog is that he was taken from the girls at the bridge. The girls walked toward home to complain to their parents, who would surely take action- the girls knew the boys who took the dog. At some point the dog holders (?) drove up to the girls, there was an argument, and suddenly one of the boys started shooting. The killers then drove away and tossed the dog out at the bridge.

LOL, probably because I've been here since this case Forum was started.

The point of granting a Forum to a case it to have threads within that Forum regarding different subjects so that the posts pertain and stay 'On Topic'.

Granted, you will find threads that were added at random and pointless and have become dormant.

Requesting someone to stay ''On Topic' or post in appropriate thread has at times only gotten some upset. I'm not a MOD on this Forum so I only try to keep it on track, but not lately

I was wondering the same thing.It's possible that the girls had been gone longer,even if one of them called to check in w/ a family member,they could have called from anywhere.It is odd that there was no food contents in their stomachs,nothing at all.No urine in their bladders either.They either voided after the attack or had little to drink.I was wondering if any tire tread casts were taken from the driveway at the house.It's possible the killer/killers were at the house first.
Has anybody else thought that who ever murdered these girls, could be someone who has done alot of deer hunting?Deer hunters tend to go for lung/heart shots,to get a lethal shot at their target.Sometimes,if the deer doesn't die right away,and hunter will use a handgun to shoot the deer in the head.The killer could have used their experience from hunting.MOO.

Hi, I'm way behind on catching up on this, but I have been a life long hunter & you described deer hunting perfectly. We use the same rule as our military snipers, "One Shot, One Kill". I'm from Illinois & they just started allowing us to bring handguns with us into the field. If the deer is still alive, we are to use the handgun to put them down. We are responsible & ethical hunters, we do not want the animal to suffer. We also eat what we take. I prefer venison over beef anytime. I'm not bragging, but it has been a very long time since I had to fire twice.

Back to the two murders, I have been thinking about the way they we're killed & it definitely fits someone who knows firearms & probably hunts. You describe things accurately & I have thought this since the beginning.

Excellent post.

Frog....with the Time Line as tight as they say, it's a good possibility it could have happened this way.

I generally check Caylee's thread and this thread daily. Just gotta say how sad it is to see 500-800 people on Caylee's thread and only 5-10 on this one.

Maybe it's that posters think Casey's the perp and are just waiting for an arrest. Then, too, there's the intriguing parts the grandparents are playing. Still, there needs to be a resolution to the murders of Taylor and Skyla, and I hope more people show an interest in the resolution of this case. Most of all, I hope it doesn't grow cold.

Hi Trino,

I think there are a lot of people like me, who are late catching up. This case intrigues me because of way too many items to list. I know I read a lot, I just don't post a lot. I'm trying to be patient & hope they (LE) are putting final touches on this case, they know who the perps are & they have them under a close watch. Hopefully, we will see arrests soon. Believe me, the murders of these two innocent young girls angers me deeply. This is a death penalty case if I have ever seen one. I'm not sure if Oklahoma has the death penalty or not. I will have to read more & catch up.

Best.

If there was something new in this case, more would be reading. So far it's just speculations or re-hashing old thoughts.

Trino,
You are right,it is sad.I suppose one reason would be the Caylee Anthony case has so much national media coverage,and the murder's of Skyla and Taylor is hardly mentioned by the media anymore.
I don't know if it has to do with ratings or what,but I think it is very unfair for the media to focus primarily on the Anthony case.I think there are plenty other cases (especially Skyla and Taylors) that deserve much more media airtime.

 

[Tom'sGirl]

There are many, many, many murder cases with little or no current information. In each case there are those who follow them and become discouraged, just like those that follow this case.

It's only been 31/2 months since these brutal murders occurred, so far from being a Cold Case.

 

[YellowDog]

Another reason this case is not getting the media attention like the Casey Anthony case is because these parents of the girls are not vocal and do no appear to be demanding justice. They are off to the nearest casino.

And no pressure from the townspeople that I have read about either. As I've said before, if OSBI would just release some information they might get some help on this case.
